The words of David to Saul fol. . . : lowing his remarkable e perlr : . enco In the cave when King' . . . Saul came Into his powar , and , . when ho withstood the strong : : temptation to kill him. It was . a most remarkabla exhibition : : of self-control , of noble-hearted . , magnanimity , of faith In God. : . About a year later a similar op. . . portunlty of taking Saul's life : came to David , but as on the . . fltat occasion he withstood the : . . pl adlng of his companion , as : well as the. temptation of his . own heart , : Here was ono of the suprama' . teslng times which was to prove : . his w rthlness for kingship , He . . must rule his own uplrlt before : : he could rule a kingdom , In . . the strict terms of Justice ha.- : could rightfully have taken .

He knew that all that . life had that was worth gaining : was no to bo desired except the . . Lord gave , even though It were : : rlchos , honor and a kingdom , . . . He knew he could safely trust : with God his all. That If ho . were wronged God would ultl. : : mately vindicate him.

He noted tha aunl'en eyes , the drooping mouth and the nervous. irregular breatblng which Indicated that oven In sleep : \ there was. no peace or rest tor tbe ' man who had rejected the Lord. As David looked closer anl1 exnmlned the features they told him aI ! the sad story f of tJio years of soul torture which \ had como to this mnn because of his t\ w1llful , unrepentant dlsobedlenco at I.J ) J , God's commandments , and David's ' : , heart smote him and his hand relaxed ' its hold upon the dagger at his sldo. l' And then David contrasted his own Inner peace nnd confidence in God. What If the outward conditions had been trying and desperate : what if he had been driven from place to place so tbat In no region did he feel secure , . was his lot not better than that of the . . . . man with tbe gullty conscience be- for him wbo wns fighting agnlnst God ? After a11 , Saul was suffering the most. ' Ablshal watched David closely. Ho noted the relaxed featmes , nay the almost look of compassion which had taken the place of the set , determln'ed oxpresslon of fierce nnger. Now he stepped to David's side and said , with vehemence : "God hath deHvered thlno enemy Into thine hand this day : . now therefore ] et mo smite him , I prny thee , with the spear to the earth " \ OM Davll1 looked up startled , nay al. ' most guiltily , as ho roallzed how hatred In his heart had almost plunged him Into nn nwful crime. . i "Nay , " ho said , slowly , "God shn11 bo my avenger.
